Those Scary Christians
-
America was conceived by several who were Christian - but they explicitly left almost all reference to the divine out of its framing.
That seems to very much have been done on purpose.
The people in the article are wrong. They have every right to advocate for policies in line with their Christian beliefs - but the government should not be Christian.

Well, it is from Better Bull Crap, so they picked the more extreme elements to generate eyeballs.
Sadly, not all British news organizations can stand up to the journalistic rigour of your usual go-to publication, The Daily Mail.
Tell ya what, beefeater, the two organizations resemble each other more than you will admit, differing only in viewpoint and snot tracks.
You clearly have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

Nah, you're living in the past. It ain't your father's BBC.

Perhaps, but the essential underpinnings of our government and way of life are Western European and Christian.
Are would you rather have a government like Jordan, India, China or Thailand?

You should look up the oversight system. The BBC operates under a charter, and is regulated. The Daily Mail isn't.
Also, you should try watching and listening to some of their programming rather than believing what you read about them in places like the Daily Mail, which has long hated it almost as much as it hates pretty much everything else modern.
Is the BBC perfect? Obviously not. They suffer from bias, and some level of liberal elitism. I find their toadying to the Royals quite tedious, too - but lots of media people do that in England. But to compare them to a rag like the Mail is ridiculous.

Christian Western European political thought also produced at least a few undesirable, if not thoroughly reprehensible, ~isms that shaped much of the 20th century global political landscape.

Doesn’t Russia claim to hold traditional Christian values? He’s certainly got the church pandering to his regime, and they’re notoriously ‘traditional’ with their attitudes to homosexuality, for example. Some people on the American right were at one point implying that Putin was defending traditional Christianity.

Yes, Russia considers itself the Third Rome.

Russia is a corruption of the Third Rome.
